NEW YORK—The Dia Art Foundation has announced that Yasmil Raymond will be its next curator, effective in September.

Raymond, currently associate curator of visual arts at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, succeeds Lynne Cooke, who left the position last summer to become deputy director and chief curator at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid. Cook continues to serve in an honorary capacity as Dia's curator at large.

Among Raymond's responsibiities will be organizing exhibitions and public programs for Dia: Beacon, Dia partner the Hispanic Society of America in New York, and the Dan Flavin Art Institute on New York's Long Island. She will also work with Dia director (and fellow Walker alumnus) Philippe Vergne to develop a long-range plan for Dia, which has been without a New York City exhibition space since 2004.

Raymond has been a curator at the Walker since 2004, where she worked on exhibitions featuring Tino Sehgal, Kara Walker, and Andy Warhol, among others. An exhibition of work by Tomás Saraceno that she organized opens at the Walker on May 14.
